My Take
Hagi is one of those players whose genius I never tire of revisiting. Nicknamed the Maradona of the Carpathians, his left foot defined an era, and the fact that he rose from Romania, hardly a footballing superpower, to the very top of the world game tells you everything about his drive. What I admire most is the second act: rather than fading after retirement, he became a coach and now leads his national team, giving back the talent he was given. A man who poured his entire life into the sport, ownership included, deserves nothing but respect.
